Chapter 60: The Shadow of the Sky
The arrival of the royal road made Lin Xiao have a false alarm, and after the royal road left, Lin Xiao resumed his previous style and continued to run the sect and practice martial arts.
Recently, Lin Xiao has been practicing the body martial arts of exchange, he has practiced this body martial arts called the Heavenly Shadow Escape Method, the best of the Xuan-level high-grade, when he practices to Dacheng, he can be like an afterimage, as fast as a ghost, now Lin Xiao has just started, and the speed of the body is more than twice as fast as before, if he really practices to the realm of Dacheng, even the ordinary monks of the twelfth layer of the Purple Mansion will not be able to catch up with him, unless he also practices the same level of martial arts.
However, this kind of martial art is extremely rare in Tianyun Prefecture, and Xuan-level martial arts are also extremely precious treasures in Danyang Sect, and most of them are concentrated in the aspect of swords, fists and feet, and the body method is even rarer.
In any world, resources are pyramid-shaped, and the more precious the resources, the more so, and the same is true in terms of martial arts, so Lin Xiao has already exchanged a number of Xuan-level martial arts, paid double points, and now put them in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, waiting for the disciples to accumulate merit points and then they can carve and cultivate.
This news made many people in the sect nervous, especially those few Keqing elders, why they rejected Lin Xiao's naturalization proposal before, it was because the Heavenly Saint Sect could not bring them many benefits that the outside world could not obtain, and it was not attractive enough.
But now as soon as the Xuan-level martial arts came out, they couldn't help it, and they all wanted to exchange merit points, you must know that now in the entire Heavenly Saint Sect, except for Lin Xiao, the people with the most merit points are a few of their Elders Keqing.
In the past two or three years, they have hardly rested, and every day they are either disciples or refining various things for the Heavenly Saint Sect, and their monthly income is enough for their cultivation, so the merit points have always been saved, and their hearts are all moving at this time.
However, Lin Xiao would not let them get their wish, and rejected their exchange requests one after another, on the grounds that these martial arts were the top secret of the Heavenly Saint Sect, and they could not be exchanged for non-disciples of this sect.
And in a blink of an eye, Lin Xiao gave Bai Chenxi another set of exercises and martial arts, Bai Chenxi wanted to support the Bai family, and the merit points were not enough, but Lin Xiao directly made the decision to let him borrow it on credit and forcibly stuff it to Bai Chenxi, which made the rest of the Keqing elders envious.
However, Lin Xiao's approach was too purposeful, so they hadn't been fooled yet, so they endured it for the time being, Lin Xiao was not in a hurry, and when their apprentices all broke through to the second-order level, the system could also be upgraded, and there should be ground-level martial arts in the next step, and at that time I really didn't believe they could bear it.
··········
"Whew, whew"
A strong wind blew, and Bai Zichen of Gongmingfang City was suddenly shocked, and almost pasted an afterimage talisman to fight, but when he looked closely, he was relieved to find that it was Lin Xiao who appeared.
"Bai Zichen has seen the master, what kind of body and martial arts skills are you, so fast"
Bai Zichen hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and his heart was shocked, Lin Xiao's body technique speed had already surpassed him with the afterimage talisman, and his body martial arts skills were definitely not low.
"It's just a Xuan-level body method, the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion has it, do it well, and change it when you have enough merit points"
"Yes, thank you."
"No, I'm just here to see, you do your own thing"
"Well, boss, I still have something to say"
"Say"
"It's a pity that she wants to come out to do things, I want her to come to Fang City to help, and ask the head for permission"
"Bai Xixi, didn't she follow Elder Bai to refine the pill, how did she come up and do things?"
Lin Xiao replied, Bai Xixi is Bai Chenxi's daughter, and the spiritual root qualification is good, it seems that Bai Chenxi also gave Bai Xixi the myelin-washing pill to use, so Bai Xixi's cultivation has increased rapidly in the past two years, and now it is now at the fourth level of condensation, and it is about to surpass Bai Chenxi.
And her alchemy talent is also okay, she was already a first-order middle-grade alchemist before joining the Heavenly Saint Sect, and she should have reached the first-order upper grade in the past two years, I don't know if she has broken through to the second-order.
"Master, you can't just practice asceticism, it's a pity that you have broken through the second-order alchemy last month, and if you want to improve again, it will cost too much"
"I see, let her come, just follow the rules"
Lin Xiao nodded, knowing what was going on, Bai Chenxi was only a second-order mid-grade alchemist now, and he had to fund so many people, he couldn't support Bai Xixi's cultivation resources, so he could only earn it himself.
However, with Bai Xixi's cultivation and alchemy skills, it is very easy to earn Xuanjing, at least it is easy to solve one's own cultivation resources.
Lin Xiao agreed, Bai Zichen was naturally very happy, everyone in the Bai family could feel Lin Xiao's suppression of them, but they also admired Lin Xiao's mind, and they were still constantly delegating power to them, and the six people of the Bai family were now the worst mixed up and were considered the middle level of the Heavenly Saint Sect.
Lin Xiao didn't care so much, he went to Baiwu Mountain after a walk around the city, Lin Xiao urged his body method with all his strength and rushed to Baiwu Mountain, he was measuring his speed.
Under full effort, Lin Xiao's speed is already faster than Ryoma, but his endurance is not comparable, Ryoma can run for six or seven hours without stopping, Lin Xiao can support for two hours at most, but this time is enough for Lin Xiao to go from Gongmingfang City to Baiwu Mountain, because Lin Xiao's flying is not limited to the road terrain, and Ryoma has to run along the road.
Lin Xiao is very satisfied with this speed, and the cultivation of body martial arts also depends on water grinding, and those who can reach the level of Dacheng in a short time are called demons, not geniuses, Lin Xiao can be regarded as geniuses, but not demons.
Of course, Lin Xiao has a system and can be a demon, but he won't do it, because after a demon for a long time, he will always be eliminated.
At this time, the in-depth development of Baiwu Mountain has lasted for a long time, 500 acres of spiritual land has been reclaimed, and some water conservancy and irrigation facilities are being made, and the entire Baiwu Mountain is very busy.
Lin Xiao knew that his identity was very noble to those people, and every time they appeared, they had to stop what they were doing to salute him, so Lin Xiao usually did not show up, and came to Baiwu Mountain mainly for retreat and practice.
A month later, the messenger of Danyang Sect arrived and personally sent a letter to Lin Xiao, Lin Xiao opened it and knew that this was a letter from Wang Dao to him, inviting him to Danyang Sect as a guest, the reason was to improve the strength of Tianyun Prefecture, and to tell them some things about the outside world and the Daogang period.
Seeing this news, Lin Xiao was immediately moved, and then found Li Fengyue, arranged the affairs of the sect, and rode a dragon horse to the Danyang Sect.
However, when passing by the vicinity of Caiyun Mountain, Lin Xiao deliberately took a detour to take a look, at this time Caiyun Mountain has been developed for more than half a year, and everything has been on the right track.
At the foot of Caiyun Mountain, Lin Xiao saw that five villages and towns had been erected, at least fifty or sixty thousand mortals were cultivating fields, and smoke rose from the villages.
The farmland under Caiyun Mountain is not given for nothing, and those people need to work on the mountain in exchange, but in general, it is much cheaper than other places, so there are a lot of people who sign up, and only five or six villages and towns have been relocated due to insufficient transportation capacity, and it will take about a year for the overall relocation of eighteen villages and towns.
And the Lingtian Danyang Sect on the mountain is ready to open up two thousand acres, and Caiyun Mountain is not ready to arrange many monks, so regardless of the problem of monk cultivation, all of them are opened up into Lingtian, but now it has also opened up hundreds of acres.
The new development plan should take more than a year to complete, and when the Immortal Ascension Conference is more than two years later, Caiyun Mountain will attract the first harvest, and with those benefits, the various sects will have the motivation to develop the rest of the Spirit Mountain.
Lin Xiao met with the disciples of the Heavenly Saint Sect here, there are not many people in the Heavenly Saint Sect, there are only eleven people, and the leader is Bai Ziyu of the Bai family, Bai Ziyu is quite satisfied with this job, because he can receive two monthly salaries, and there is a relationship with Lin Xiao, and no one in the rest of the sects dares to bully him, so he can cultivate with peace of mind.
Bai Ziyu also told Lin Xiao a lot of things about Caiyun Mountain, in fact, in the past half a year, the casualties of mortals have been quite large, Caiyun Mountain used to be full of miasma, and now most of those miasma has disappeared, and there is no threat to the monks, but mortals still can't bear it, many of them are often not poisoned on the spot, but die after inhaling the miasma and getting sick.
Therefore, Lin Xiao also told him to be careful, the human resources of the Heavenly Saint Sect are very valuable, and there are only more than 300 people in total who can be used, and if one dies, one will be less, and the next batch of manpower will take about two years to be used, and it will not be easily damaged.
Even in terms of cost, if the disciples of the Heavenly Saint Sect die like this, Lin Xiao will also lose money, and now among the disciples of the Heavenly Saint Sect, except for the batch that has just started, which one of them has Lin Xiao's investment less than five hundred Xuanjing, if they don't earn back this amount for the sect, they will lose one by one.
Lin Xiao didn't stay overnight in Caiyun Mountain, and left after the inspection, and then went to Tianluo City, and after buying and selling some things with the shopkeeper of Baibaolou, he turned back and went to Danyang Sect.
In front of the mountain gate of Danyang Sect, Lin Xiao met his old acquaintance Liu Yunfeng, but at this time he was already a Purple Mansion monk, and it seemed that before this, he had obtained the right to use a Kaifu Pill.
"Elder Liu, congratulations."
"Welcome, welcome, welcome"
"I've been guessing which Daoist of the Danyang Sect made the Purple Mansion, but I didn't expect it to be Elder Liu."
"This is still thanks to the blessing of Master Lin."
"Haha, since it's my blessing, then Elder Liu will tell me what the royal Dao seniors want to do this time."
"Master Lin, this is not a confidential matter, in fact, it is better to prepare for the future, you will know when you go"
Liu Yunfeng said lightly, the information of the Danyang Sect is very keen, in fact, it has been making some preparations since before the Immortal Ascension Conference, and it is the same now.
Lin Xiao was stunned, but he quickly reacted, it seemed that a big battle was inevitable, but he didn't know if he would give the Heavenly Saint Sect time.
